Top-water yet.......?
The w/e started with a snoop to a pond near to Susan's abode on Sat
evening. Several NICE fish were observed cruising near shore,
searching. Permission was procurred as necessary by Susan and the pond
recieved a visit on Sun PM for a couple hours. 6-10 LM's were pestered
on top-water stuff. The bigger fish coming to frogs.
On Monday we followed Judy to a pond local to here (Petaluma) where
we tried pestering some more fish. No success for 2 hours casting. This
caused quandry. Was the water that much colder here than in Calistoga?
Were the fish dour due to drastic draw-down at the local pond?
Seemed another "fact-finding" excursion was in order so a driver
and I went to another local pond NOT affected by draw-down at this
time. Viola! Success was again to be ours as again 6-10 fish were
pestered with frogs for about 1 1/2 hrs casting. The bigger fish today
came to baitfish immi's on top.
Seems to be winding down though, as things DID seem slower. Losing
a couple more degrees water temp will probably send us after new
targets, for sure.

Been gone awhile but you all have surely been in our thoughts.
As JC writes, the #'s are not for a guage of "success" but as a guage of action. Success was realized by spending time with the people we did and where we did.
HEY RICK! GRAND to see you posting quotes again!
Susan and Judy.....fishing buddys.
Susan and frog-fish.
